[Intro:]
She shrugged her shoulders and with a sigh
Said "we gave it the old college try
But sometimes everyone everywhere
Has got to say goodbye."

[Verse 1:]
She shrugged her shoulders and with a sigh
Said "we gave it the old college try"
Said "there's nothing left to say"
But who needs college anyway.

[Chorus:]
So while you're sipping your espresso
I'll be trying hard to let go
Although you've been there all along
I'm white knuckled on you photograph
Wounds bleeding from the aftermath
Finding somewhere to belong

[Verse 2:]
I promised to catch you if you fell
But the pavement's embrace seemed just as well
And though I'm not asking for too much
And your skins cold to the touch
I'd rather die cold than lie freezing in your arms

[Chorus 2x]
